They thought that Li Yan would be so angry that his face would turn blue after hearing what the second elder said.
They could all tell that those mosquito monsters were special species, and their extreme coldness made them even more powerful when dealing with the "Wind Goose Beast".
Therefore, it must be a very important spiritual beast to Li Yan. But Li Yan actually agreed with the second elder's suggestion.
This surprised everyone. Li Yan was too easy to talk to. Could it be that he would pay such a huge price and abandon the precious monster clan in order to obtain the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique"
Of course the second elder was the most surprised by Li Yan's sudden attitude. For a moment, he was a little confused. He didn't know what Li Yan meant, but after a little hesitation, he nodded and answered.
"Of course, I've said before that almost all of our 'Gray Cloud Eagles' have been killed or wounded, and we currently have no means of resisting a large number of 'Wind Goose Beasts' aerial attacks!"
"It doesn't matter if this is your purpose. I can help you defend for three months. I think after three months, I should have some results on my side!"
Li Yan's words made these people roughly understand what he meant, that is, Li Yan agreed to take out that kind of mosquito monster to help them resist the low-level "Wind Goose Beast".
However, he only agreed to send out a portion of the mosquito monsters, which should be enough to fight for three months.
Three months later, Li Yan had either returned or something had happened to him. Then there were only so many mosquitoes and monsters left, and there was nothing to talk about.
"Defense for three months? OK..."
The second elder thought quickly in his mind and realized that the one year he had proposed before was an exaggeration.
Now, as long as Li Yan is willing to give them that rare mosquito, they can try to cultivate it, so that they will have a chance to actually get this monster.
But before he could finish his words, Li Yan interrupted him.
"However, Mr. Li has one more condition!"
The second elder frowned when he heard this, but did not say anything. The first elder and the third elder also did not speak with flickering eyes, and just looked at Li Yan quietly.
"My condition is that if you help you defend for three months and then bring back the news, I can obtain the fourth level of the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique.
If Patriarch Gong and the Sixth Elder were rescued, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 3rd floors would be within reach. The importance of the two Nascent Soul cultivators to the Tianli tribe was self-evident.
Moreover, you should all know how many people I was able to save by helping our tribe defend for three months.
Originally, if I could save the lives of the Tianli people, I would do it if it was within my ability. I didn't want to make this a condition.
However, since the clan has a rule to test me, and it must be of great benefit to the clan, then the fact that I was able to save so many lives should also be counted."
Li Yan said slowly that of course he wanted to obtain the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", but the other party's conditions were too harsh. It was the only thing he could do to fulfill the mission that would make the entire clan grateful.
"No! The above things are just one mission as a whole, but the difficulty is different, so there are additional conditions. If you successfully rescue the person, you can only get the fourth level of the skill."
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the second elder immediately rejected it.
Li Yan frowned upon seeing this. Did this Second Elder want him to help them for free for three months and at the same time ask him to complete an extremely difficult task
“Well, I think what Fellow Daoist Li proposed is reasonable. He is willing to help defend for three months. If he cannot rescue Shanhe and the others, he will only teach him the fourth level if he brings back news.
But if we can save Shanhe and the others, and Shanhe's identity is too important, we can teach him the third level. After all, human life is more important than anything else, and it is worth it to save the lives of so many people in the tribe!"
At this moment, the Great Elder spoke slowly. He was actually reluctant to teach so much to Li Yan, but the Li people were in urgent need of Nascent Soul cultivators today.
Whether it is the return of Gong Shanhe and the other man, or Li Yan's own combat power, they need it.
In addition, the most important core of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" is in the last three layers. Therefore, the elder decided to focus on winning over Li Yan for the time being, after all, these things all require Li Yan's help.
"Second Elder, the number of mortals is decreasing sharply every day. If we can reduce the casualties among our tribesmen, it can be considered a great achievement. After all, once Fellow Daoist Li's monsters join the battle, the losses will be huge!"
The Third Elder's voice also became somewhat cold, and his eyes were fixed on the Second Elder.
When the second elder saw the two of them looking at him like this, he sneered in his heart.
"Humph! If you wanted to win over Li Yan, you had to give up the clan's treasure book in exchange. In the end, Li Yan even accepted your favor. How can it have anything to do with us?"
He was thinking in his mind, but his expression was calm and he remained silent. For a moment, the whole hall became silent.
Li Yan's thoughts raced in his mind. This Second Elder was really a tough nut to crack. But when he thought about it, if he had a supreme book, it would be impossible for others to take it away with just a few words.
In the eerie silence, Li Yan suddenly spoke again.
"How about this, I'll take a step back. If I can rescue the clan leader and the others, but I'm not sure how many people I can rescue, I'll just do my best. If I succeed, I can get the fourth and fifth level skills. How do you think?"
Li Yan was helpless about this. In fact, even if he didn't have to exchange his skills, he would still try to rescue Gong Shanhe. It's just that Gong Chenying thought this was the best time to negotiate terms with the clan, and it was indeed the case.
Otherwise, if we miss this village, it will be even more difficult to deal with the second elder.
"Second Elder, I think this is Fellow Daoist Li's greatest sincerity. We are assessing King Qing according to the clan rules. Isn't this intentional
Otherwise, if we lose this opportunity, what will happen to Shanhe and the others in the future? Your decision will have a lot to do with it."
The Great Elder's voice also became solemn.
After a few more breaths, the atmosphere in the hall had become somewhat depressing.
"Okay, then please ask Brother Li to bring out that monster!"
The second elder slowly spoke at this time. After all, Gong Shanhe was the clan leader, and he did not dare to make the matter a dead end. If then, the first elder, who was always broad-minded, might hold a grudge against him.
At present, he is not qualified to compete with the Great Elder, especially if the other party spreads the news, and the tribe members know that there is a chance to rescue the tribe leader, but he does not leave any room for them, then his reputation in the tribe will definitely decline.
Gong Shanhe's methods were extremely powerful, and he had been leading the troops on the front lines for many years. Even many of his Miao clan members respected him very much.
Seeing the second elder nod in agreement, the first and third elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, when the second elder asked for the mosquito monster, Li Yan's answer surprised everyone again. Li Yan just shook his head at the second elder.
"When did I say I would take out my monster?"
"You... you are teasing me, humph!"
Hearing that Li Yan suddenly changed his words, the second elder's face suddenly turned ugly. The first elder and the third elder also changed their faces several times and fixed their eyes on Li Yan's face.
Gong Chenying's face also changed slightly. She had not spoken a word because of the inequality of their status and the fact that the conditions they were discussing involved Gong Shanhe. But when she saw that both parties had finally reached an agreement, Li Yan changed his mind.
"Hehehe... Didn't you guys just say that the main thing is to defend against the air attack of the 'Wind Goose Beast'? I just need to make sure that they can't attack us for three months!"
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you mean there is another way?" The Great Elder stared at Li Yan with his pale eyes, but seeing that Li Yan's face was serious and he didn't seem to be joking, he finally calmed down a little.
"Everyone, if you know anything about our Wuliang Sect, you should know what we are best at."
Li Yan suddenly smiled and glanced at each of them.
"Assassination, raising Gu, using poison, puppets, formations..."
The third elder's eyes flickered as he murmured something, and Li Yan nodded slightly.
“Fellow Daoist, you really know my sect very well, but I am not good at witchcraft and puppetry, but I can use poison and formations.
We will find a suitable position in front of the defense line and set up a formation and poison. This will prevent the wind beasts from easily breaking through, whether from the air or on the ground!"
After hearing this, several people in the hall were stunned. Then the second elder sneered, but at this time the third elder had already spoken again, but at the same time, disappointment appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know how long that battle line is? We can set up an ordinary formation, but it can't withstand the opponent's attacks a few times, not to mention that the opponent has third- and fourth-level monsters that will attack.
Especially when it comes to poisoning, how much poison pill and venom are needed? Wind beasts themselves are resistant to ordinary poisons, so to deal with them, one must use poison pills and venom of extraordinary level.
Compared to the huge herd of wind beasts, even a super large batch may not be able to be taken out!"
The third elder is also a person who practices witchcraft, and he has his own unique way of using poison in witchcraft.
Since ancient times, the brilliant high priests of the Tianli tribe have thought of these methods, but even with the strength of the entire tribe, they cannot refine so many high-level poisons.
So after hearing this, the three elders all shook their heads.
Although Li Yan had considerable combat power, he underestimated the wind beasts. Perhaps he really thought that after killing a fourth-level wind beast, the wind beasts would be easy to deal with.
However, the three of them did not notice that after hearing Li Yan's words, a strange light appeared in the clear and beautiful eyes of Gong Chenying, who was sitting below.
Others didn't know what Li Yan meant by using poison, but she knew it very well.
When Li Yan was only in the Qi Condensation Stage, his “Fragmented Poisonous Body” already shined brilliantly, which was amazing.
Now that Li Yan has reached the Nascent Soul stage, his disintegrated poisonous body will only become more powerful. Otherwise, how could it be called one of the three most powerful poisonous bodies of the Wuliang Sect.
Li Yan doesn't need to open a special furnace to refine the elixir. As long as he has magic power, he can be a mobile huge poison elixir furnace.
Even if we don't consider that the Tianli tribe is also in this area, Li Yan alone can probably turn this place into a Jedi.
Of course, Li Yan’s poison is not omnipotent. For example, he may not be able to destroy the wind beast’s nest. The main reason is the strange wind in the "Sky Eye Pit". The poison released by Li Yan may not be able to reach the bottom at all.
“You may not have really dealt with the Wuliang Sect. The formation I set up only needs an ordinary formation, not a mid-level or high-level formation.
All we need to do is to make it impossible for ordinary wind beasts that are good at earth escape and flying to cross an area, and force them to enter the highly toxic area.
The function of those formations is to prevent ordinary wind beasts from flying and burrowing underground. This type of formation is very common.
However, as the Third Elder said, the formations and flags I have are not enough, so I still need the clan to take out all the formations they can, and just deploy a line of defense.
The rest is up to me. We'll know whether the poison I've laid works or not once we try it.
As for the other side's third- and fourth-level wind beasts coming to attack the formation, can't the cultivators in your clan just let them attack? Moreover, you can use the life gate to enter and attack the other side invisibly, hehe..."
Li Yan glanced at the few people.
"Li... Fellow Daoist Li, are you serious?"
The Great Elder saw that Li Yan looked very confident, so he spoke after some hesitation.
Although he was a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage and had great combat power, he was restrained by Yan San and he could not easily kill those low- and middle-level wind beasts despite his skills.
Some of the voodoo refined by the third elder can only work in a small range and does not have a big impact on the entire battlefield.
The reason is that they have to refine higher-level voodoo. Compared with the huge number of wind beasts, the demand for those precious raw materials is not a little bit, but a huge amount. Not only are they difficult to find, but they can't afford it at all.
"Of course, I can set up a defensive formation for a certain area later, and we will know the result after we give it a try."
Li Yan immediately gave a definite answer.
Just now, he also asked the Tianli tribe to help him set up the formation, but of course he didn't want to take on too much. At his level, some ordinary formations and prohibitions only needed a few spirit stones and simple tools to set up.
But how could Li Yan be willing to let the Second Elder and others watch and help set up the formation so that he could concentrate on poisoning
"Okay, if Fellow Daoist Li can really achieve the effect you described, with the three of us agreeing, even if the fourth and fifth elders object, there will be no problem!!"
When the second elder saw Li Yan's firm determination, he immediately agreed.
What he said was quite nice. In fact, as long as he agreed, it would be the same whether the fourth or fifth elders were present or not.
"Now that all of this has been explained, Fellow Daoist Li, there is still one more stage that you need to take on first, which is to see what level of cultivation you have reached with your Qiongqi Purgatory Technique."
After the Great Elder saw that both parties had come to an agreement, he mentioned another crucial thing.
Originally, this matter should have been done at the very beginning, but in order to convince the second elder, Li Yan’s last “achievement” had to be brought out first as a prelude.
In addition, the Great Elder also believed that Gong Chenying would not do anything rash in this matter, so he first conceded that Li Yan had not practiced any martial arts beyond the third level.
But at this point, according to clan rules, they still have to make a final confirmation.
"Oh, how do you test it?"
Li Yan looked at the Great Elder calmly.
“The method of testing is actually very simple. My clan has a magic weapon passed down by the first generation of high priests. All you need to do is put one arm into it.
However... if you don't keep it then you need to remove the protective spiritual power and allow the magic weapon to stimulate a stream of air into your body. Only then can it work!"
Having said this, the Great Elder stopped talking. It seemed that Li Yan had already understood what he meant.
This test method was originally used by the cultivators of the Tianli tribe, so there would not be any problems. But for outsiders, it is extremely dangerous.
If the protective spiritual power is removed and the person conducting the test has malicious intentions, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.
